“Best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to in a very long time. Flautas were brought out fresh and fast and were the tastiest and cripsiest I have ever had. Amazing environment and service they even blended up fresh salsa for me when I asked for more spice. Lovely spot for lunch break“

“Honestly, it was my very first time to try QDOBA in my whole life. When we told about it to the lady who worked there, she explained me the way to make an order, details of the ingredients and how mild/spicy the sauces they have. Thank to her help, I could experience the brand new bowl which I loved it a lot. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try new one soon!“

“I ate at the Monroe store today. I had never been at a Buubakoos before and did not know what to expect. I had the pork burrito and it was off the hook. The place was spotless and the service was spot on. The manager came over and introduced himself as John and asked if everything was satisfactory, and it was more than satisfactory. You would think John was the owner not just the manager, he cared as if was his own business. It was good to see that. I will be back for sure, my new go to place.“

“Management issue-This is a great spot with great food but they are constantly understaffed on their busiest nights. It’s not fair to the one server they have to handle all the takeout/phones and whole dining room during the rush. I’ve seen customers leave in frustration. They’re losing people over a quick fix of hiring ONE more person to help at least on Tuesdays! Get it together guys.“

“Always very tasty. Great staff. Great atmosphere.“

“Muy buena comida !!! Excelente!!!“

“Everything was Great haven’t had Tacos that Good ever“

“Excelente atención al cliente y su comida muy rica.“

“My bartender Alex made my experience quite pleasurable. She was welcoming and made me feel at home like I've been there 100 times and it was my first visit. She was attentive. I never felt like i was waiting around or in need of anything. And the drinks she made were phenomenal. Definitely will be returning.“

“I LOVE IT I BEEN THERE TWICE AND WE DON'T SPEAK SPANISH BUT WE WERE HELP AND THE WAITRESS REMEMBER US FROM THE LAST TIME. THE SHRIMP IS TO DIE FOR. WILL BE BACK“

“The best Mexican food and service!!!“

“The Manager, Krish, was happy to speak with me and patiently answered my questions regarding GLUTEN-FREE options including GF chips and crispy tacos!!!! The restaurant is always busy, the food is so fresh and delicious. The lettuce is chopped thin, not too thin just right. The dressings, such as the lime cilantro vinaigrette and chipotle mayo and spicy red salsa are incredible. The chicken and steak are grilled to perfection, they are able to handle large take out orders with advanced ordering and my office is so thrilled when we order from Burrito Bowl Mexican grill. We no longer have Taco Tuesdays-only- Now we have Taco Weds, Thurs and Friday too with many options not just Tacos!!!!“

“The food is delicious and I love their queso its the best. And service is always good.“

“Muy rica la comida y muy limpio el lugar“

“Great experience. We wanted something different than what is offered at rest stops off of 95. This place popped up and we decided to try it out! The guy behind the counter was very friendly and the food was excellent. We got a Chicken Cesar Wrap and a Club Sandwich. They hit the spot! This place really is a “One stop shop”. We forgot to take a picture of the food because we were so hungry. If we are ever traveling this way again, we’ll definitely be back!“

“Everything was Great haven’t had Tacos that Good ever“

“Loved free Queso Day On September 20th. Hope having more days like that coming up.“

“Diana is a superstar! My wife and I genuinely enjoyed her presence and attention to detail in making our bowls. Staff like this are rare! Food is good, place is clean. Would recommend trying some different methods and seasoning for grilled chicken. Texture and flavor could use some work but still very enjoyable as is. Keep up great work!“

“Es uno de mis lugares favoritos porque la comida es excelente, muy buen sazón y a precio justo, lo malo es el servicio, cuando están los muchachos ellos atienden muy bien, pero hay una joven que atiende de mala gana, las veces que nos ha atendido ella es lo mismo, hoy mejor preferimos ya no comprar nada, cuidado con eso porque con gente así no dan ganas de volver.“

“First time there will definitely be going back the service was superb,food tasted great portions were plentiful and prices were reasonable the decor was not like anything I ever seen b4 had to take pictures and the waitress taught me some Spanish words lol 😂“

“Tuvimos un festejo de cumpleaños y María nos ayudó personalmente a planear el menú para la fiesta, me entregaron todo super ordenado, en tiempo y calientito, y sobre todo la comida con muy buen sabor, a todos nos encantó la comida, quedamos muy satisfechos ! gracias de nuevo por toda la ayuda, super recomendados✨“

“Had been wanting to try Chapin for a while, but the cash only setup made it a bit tricky at first. Finally came prepared with the right change (and then some).

The place has limited about 3-4 people seating with stools on opposite sides of the wall. Tried their beef burrito — total came to $14.75 with a side of Tamarindo. Fair enough by Princeton standards. The taste? Solid. Not something that’ll knock your socks off, but definitely good value for the price. Noticed it’s a spot frequented by Latino customers — so I trust they know the authentic flavors far better than I do as an outsider. All in all, worth the visit if you’re in the area and craving something casual“

“I mostly get take out and order the same thing. I want to try eveything but I love the fried Porgy fish with rice and beans with salad and plaintains. The owner Rudy is great!!! He's so welcoming and inviting and he has great energy. You're sure to have a great mean and great interactions at this establishment!!!“

“BUENA comida, buena atención y muy bueno el show con karaoke, especialmente la cantante Claudia“

“today was my first time in the restaurant. the guy working was really helpful. his name is Jason. he allowed me to try different sauces to see what i wanted and was patient with me. I'll be back if the service continues.“

“We recently dined at Taste of Mexico and tried the chicken fajitas. The chicken was well seasoned and flavorful, and the rice and beans were a great addition to the overall meal. However, I found the portion of chicken to be small, which was a bit underwhelming. Additionally, the vegetables, which are meant to be a side, ended up taking over the plate. While the overall taste was good, a better balance between the chicken and vegetables would have made this a more enjoyable meal. In addition to the chicken fajitas, we ordered the carne enchiladas, which were served along a bed of rice, beans, and a simple green salad. The grilled pork in the enchiladas was marinated well and juicy. The carne complimented the sautéed tomatoes, onions, and jalepeños tenderly filled inside the enchiladas. The carne enchiladas was a well-sized dish and was quite delectable. Now onto the star of the meal... The Tres Leches Cake. The sponge-like cake, soaked in the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream, was a symphony of richness and delight to our taste buds. Despite the prevalence of milk, the dish never felt heavy and continued to be light and luscious till the very last bite.

Vegetarian options: Lots of great vegetarian options. Black/pinto beans, rice, guacamole, vegetable platters, vegetable enchiladas.

Parking: Lots of parking behind(free), paid street parking on the main downtown street and, paid parking garage situated behind the Princeton public Library

Kid-friendliness: Great quaint spot, friendly for kids of all ages

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is primarily flat ground with no steps. There is a slight slope which the restaurant is located on, however this is very slight, but just a FYI!“

“We came for the first time and the restaurant was very clean and welcoming. The menu had a variety of authentic Mexican food. We ordered lengua quesadillas, torta de bistec y bistec entomatado fajitas. We were starving. Omg!! The food arrived hot and fresh. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! The bread for the torta was toasted and buttered and it tasted like they baked the bread from scratch themselves. A huge plus. The amount of food was very good ?. I love Mexican food pero yesterday it reached another level. So the lengua quesadillas, were out of this world delicious, it was well prepared, seasoned and cooked to perfection ??! Oh and everything had fresh avocado ?, it wasn’t black or sour how other restaurants try to serve you. I will be coming 3X’s a week if not more. Also, did I mention they make pizza!!! As you can tell I love food. I definitely recommend stopping by and treating your taste buds!! ☺️“

““I didn't have a reservation, but they seated me immediately and treated me very kindly. The young lady who served us was very patient with the children about the food and an excellent host.” I ordered a Molcajete which was delicious and thanks to the children I even ate fries. I recommend them.“

“I had been coming since 2021 the food is delicious! I did notice the prices went up a bit, I like how you can come in and pick whatever you want to eat for a quick bite of hardy food. It's already made and they have my favorite all time starch Yuca w red onion! 😋 Sometimes I have to speak a little Spanish to tell them what I want but the cashier is very patient with me and nice. You ALWAYS get your money worth because they give you a lot of food.
Update: They forgot my sides, they're normally good, Idk what happened but I ordered from DD.“

“This location keeps all sauce packets behind the counter. Every time I need sauce, I have to wait several minutes for an employee to notice me, and employees often walk by without acknowledging customers waiting. I usually have to repeatedly say ‘excuse me’ to get someone’s attention. Other Taco Bell locations have self-serve sauce stations, so this process creates unnecessary delays. Please either make the sauces accessible to customers or ensure staff respond more promptly when someone is waiting for assistance.This location keeps all sauce packets behind the counter.

“The food is great 👍🏻 Yummy 😋“

“I mean....its tacobell. With that being said it was one of the best I've been to. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner but it was amazing how quick they got my food out. The music was great though. I overall I enjoyed my time here.“
